Red Hot Cookies

Who doesn’t love cinnamon during the Holidays? With these cookies I originally wanted to make a cinnamon cookie with cinnamon chips but I could not find cinnamon chips anywhere! I was so discouraged and about to throw in the towel.

But then I happened to be walking down the candy aisle looking for Andes mints for another cookie I’ll be sharing soon & I saw them. All the way on the top shelf they were sitting there calling out to me!

RED HOTS!!

I honestly had no idea if this was going to work at all but hey, that’s part of the fun of baking right? Trial & error! These cookies ended up pleasantly surprising me. They had just the right pop of cinnamon from the red hots. The candy did firm back up a little once the cookies cooled down but it never went back to it’s original state. It was just a nice chewy cinnamon piece in the cookies.

Yield: about 2 dozen cookies

6037907

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup butter, softened

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup imperial cinnamon candies (Red Hots)

LETS COOK:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with non-stick foil.

Cream together the butter, egg & sugar. Add in the vanilla & cornstarch. Slowly beat in the flour. Fold in the cinnamon candies.

Scoop dough into tablespoon size balls & place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart ~ cookies don’t really spread, they will stay more in the rounded ball shape.

Those cookies are delicious. I made them for Christmas and everyone loved them. unfortunately the cinnamon candies i used are diferent from those you used ( in Greece we dont have Red Hots) but still great.
